Why Choose The Dominy Law Firm?
The Dominy Law Firm is one of the most credentialed OVI / DUI defense practices in Ohio. U.S. News & World Report's Tier 1 ranking for OVI / DUI puts it in elite company — only four Ohio firms hold that designation. Founder Shawn Dominy's Super Lawyers listing across both criminal defense and OVI / DUI signals peer recognition rather than self-promotion. Specialty depth in serious vehicular crimes (vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, OVI causing serious physical harm) is rare. Best fit if your case involves a serious OVI charge — particularly with prior priors, a high BAC, or accident-related injury — or a vehicular crime where stakes are unusually high.
Situations They Handle
What You'll Likely Pay
The Dominy Law Firm offers free initial consultations. Most criminal defense engagements are flat-fee, quoted up front in a written engagement letter. Complex felony or vehicular-crime cases may use phased fees that scale with case stage.

What Clients Say
Third OVI in ten years — looking at felony exposure. Shawn challenged the breath test calibration and got the charge reduced to first-degree misdemeanor with treatment. I kept my CDL.
Charged with vehicular assault after a crash that wasn't my fault. The firm reconstructed the accident, brought in an engineering expert, and we won at trial. They tried it like it could go to verdict — and it did.
First OVI in a Columbus suburb. Bryan Hawkins challenged the stop and the field-sobriety administration; case dismissed before trial. Communication was excellent throughout.
